Seemingly without any reason, singer�hitomi recently went from major label avex to an independent label, and now the singer has more news: she's collaborating with Advanced Alternative Media (aam) for her upcoming album, "SPIRIT", that will drop on April 27th.

Not only that, but Rivers Cuomo from�Weezer and�A Simple Plan will take part in hitomi's album as well.

amm's main headquarters is in New York and has worked with the likes of�Madonna, Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne, and Black Eyed Peas, but this is the company's first time working with a Japanese artist.

It's been confirmed that the indie label that she transferred to is "maximum10", and it's worth mentioning that one of the label's artists, "FACT", recently made a debut in Europe and America.

Maybe hitomi is on the same path?
